Computer Vision and Generative AI Engineering Manager – Apple Vision Pro Full-time

Summary
Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something – you’ll add something.

Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible – all while staying connected to the people around us. In this position, you will join a team of computer vision and machine learning researchers and engineers to discover and build solutions to previously-unsolved challenges and push the state of the art.

We are seeking an enthusiastic leader capable of effectively guiding a team, collaborating cross functionally, and possessing deep expertise in both practical and theoretical aspects of 3D Computer Vision algorithms. This includes proficiency in generative models, novel view synthesis, 3D reconstruction, multi-modal models, pose estimation, or tracking. This role is exceptionally technical, demanding a leader who can actively engage in all aspects of the work, from conceptualization and theoretical considerations to design, coding, and implementation.

Key Qualifications
